Abstract
Testimonial Psychology explores how the factors of memory, veracity and persuasion influence testimony within the judicial context. A testimony, which is defined as a document that certifies the truth of an event, is affected by two main aspects: the rationalization of the facts and subjectivity. Contrary to the traditional view that considers memory as an exact archive of events, cognitive psychology demonstrates that memory is an interpretive process. This understanding challenges the notion that memory is a faithful reproduction of events, recognizing instead that memories are actively reconstructed through subjective interpretations. Persuasion plays a crucial role in presenting testimony and interpreting messages during the legal process. The ability to persuade others about the truthfulness of testimony can significantly influence judicial decisions. Therefore, both memory, truthfulness and persuasion are aspects that justice professionals must take into account when evaluating.
